wonder if Dial will play any NT this year if Ian isn't healthy? Maybe they just increase PT for Purcell?

Tell me how that is a big downgrade from say 2013-2014.....I only see a drop off in ILB replacing Willis, and somewhat with Aldon to Lynch (but not as much in run stopping as it would be pass rushing). Bowman appears to be back.
Justin Smith is an untouchable monster, but DeForest and Arik should be able to come close to Justice and RayMac.
Glenn Dorsey, Quinton Dial as backups.....Tank and Eli Harold as backups, I like.
Sub package wise, Tartt can discipline RBs.....Bethea too.
Scheme will count, but I trust O'Neil.
Let this be a return to 2009 when the streak of not allowing 100 yard rushers started!
Next year we get another OLB to get after QBs.

Yo dog! Why don't you just become a sea chicken fan??!! You have got to be the worst loser to ever portend to be some type of fan!! Tell me. Did you know for a fact when the Niners were going to be good BEFORE they were? Uh, no you didn't. But, I'll bet that you watched that first year Harbaugh coached and once you realized there was a playoff in the future you wet your pants. And, you had no freakin' idea in Harbaughs last year they would wind up 8-8. But, I'll bet again you were running around your place of employment telling people that the Niners would win the SuperBowl that year. So, in essence, sit your a$$ down and stfu! If you ain't gonna be positive about the Niners, go troll some where else!Originally posted by pdizo916:What is the predicted season total wins, 5? I will take the under.

Source tells me Todd Gurley is contemplating early retirement. Can't see a future in the NFL after having to face this front 7 two times next year.

Just look at the LBs.
I doubt that Bowman is still the same Bowman
Very very unlikely Ahmad Brooks is the same Ahmad Brooks
Very unlikely Lynch will be able to match that year's Aldon Smith
No way Hodges or Wilhoite is the same as Willis
You will need every single LB positions to exceed expectations to compared to 13-14. Maybe one or two of them can exceed expectations, but highly unlikely all four can exceed expectations.

Because they have much better depth now with lots of young guys
It's not just the 7 guys listed above, they also have these guys to rotate in:
Quinton Dial
Ronald Blair
Eli Harold
Tank Carradine
And we are also very deep at DB with a good nickel package
FS - Eric Reid
SS - Antone Bethea ..... Tartt
CB - Ward
CB - Brock
CB - Redmond ......... Robinson / Johnson / Acker / Reaser, etc
